Huge C. Porcia!!!!

Here is another sizeable C. Porcia 'Cannizaro' FCC/AOS I just found in the greenhouse! I needed help getting it out the door. Dyna-grow spiked with Superthrive has really been working for me! I'm a six-footer to give you an idea of the size of this plant. The blooms are 9 inches across!!!!

Louis,
it is certainly possible to use digital photography of orchid award photos and still maintain their integrity. It's more a matter of folks not wanting to embrace change and new technologies than the medium being inherently prone to manipulation.

Prem, yes, I agree that it's certainly possible. I asked specifically why slide film was still being used, and was told that it helped keep the honest people honest. The ease of digital manipulation on the part of potentially unethical folks posed too great a risk. As far as the AOS being unwilling to embrace new technologies is concerned, I can't comment: I would have no idea whether that's true or not.
